Title: Analysis of damage to vehicle glazing panels
Inventor: DEVENDER VERMA
IPC: G06T7/60
Filed: 2019-06-24
Abstract: A method of assessing damage to a vehicle glazing panel using a portable device, such as a phone, with a camera to take a photo of the windscreen to assess at least one of: the location of the damage with respect to the windscreen perimeter, the size or nature of the damage to the windscreen, the correct mounting and device elements a replacement windscreen may require in order to mount electronic devices that may be fitted to the assessed windscreen. Preferably, the image is transmitted to a remote processor which uses an AI or machine learning system to make the assessment. The size or nature of the damage may be assessed using a scaling reference object, which may be a coin. The coin ma be identified by the AI. The assessment may take account of the geographical location of the vehicle. A second close-up photo zoomed in on the damage and including the scaling object may be taken.

Title: Malware detection using machine learning
Inventor: JOSEPH H LEVY
IPC: G06N20/00
Filed: 2019-01-08
Abstract: Synthetic training sets for machine learning are created by identifying and modifying functional features of code in an existing malware training set. By filtering the resulting synthetic code to measure malware impact and novelty, training sets can be created that predict novel malware and to seek to preemptively exhaust the space of new malware. These synthesized training sets can be used in turn to improve training of machine learning models. Furthermore, by repeating the process of new code generation, filtering and training, an iterative machine learning process may be created that continuously narrows the window of vulnerabilities to new malicious actions.

Title: Angle-aware object classification
Inventor: TAPIO FRIBERG
IPC: G06V10/80
Filed: 2021-12-17
Abstract: A computer-implemented method of classifying objects in an image comprises receiving image data, S100, receiving incidence angle data that indicates the angle from which a detector collects the image data, S102, and using a machine learning model, e.g. a convolutional neural network (CNN), to classify objects within the image into categories, e.g. water, ice, arable land, forest, or man-made constructions. Classifying the objects within the image, S104, is based on the image data’s respective incidence angle data and parameter value data, e.g. intensity, colour channel, or phase information. The model may be trained (Fig.4) by receiving the training image and incidence angle data and concatenating the two to generate a training data patch. Generating this patch may involve augmenting the angle data to generate angle range data that are concatenated to the image data or may involve projecting the incidence angle or angle range data to a two-dimensional patch with the same size as the image data. The model may be trained on an elevation model of terrain imaged by the detector. The detector may be on-board an orbital satellite. The image may be a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) image.
